Live from the White House - What Do You Want to Know?

Live from the White House - What Do You Want to Know?I know everyone has issues. And with this agenda you can directly talk to white house aids that talk every day to the president. Might help. Might not. But we never know unless we try. Right?DaveDear Friend,As the first year of the Obama Administration concludes with the State of the Union, the White House is inviting Americans across the country to connect directly with some of the President’s senior advisors. Through WhiteHouse.gov, these leaders will report to you on their work and answer your questions on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading.Every morning this week at WhiteHouse.gov, you’ll find a guest blog post from a senior advisor talking about the progress the Administration has made in a particular area. Then, in the afternoon, that advisor will host a live video chat with the public where you can ask anything you want, or just tune in and see what’s going on.Link>>>>>>http:​/​/​www.​whitehouse.​gov/​files/​images/​email/​email_​graphic_​join_​the_​discussion.​jpgHere’s the schedule we have planned:Monday, 3:30 EST: Carol Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate, discusses the President’s push to create the newclean energy economy.Tuesday, 3:00 EST: Ben Rhodes of the National Security Council discusses the President’s handling of national security and foreign policy.Wednesday, 12:00 EST: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will talk about health reform, from how far we’ve come to how reform will benefit American families and small businessesThursday, TBD: The nation’s first Federal Chief Technology Officer, Aneesh Chopra, will join Norm Eisen, special counsel to the President for ethics and government reform, to talk about all the ways in which the President has changed Washington.Friday, 1:00 EST: Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, talks about the President’s primary focus on restoring the economy for all Americans and creating jobs for the American people.Stop by WhiteHouse.gov to read all of the posts, join the chats, and find any updates on times.
